Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) According to Newton.s second Law, when you fall from a bike on the ground with a force equal to your mass and acceleration of the bike.
According to Newton.s Third Law, an equal and opposite reacting force on the ground is exerted on your body. When you do not wear a helmet, this reacting force can cause fatal head injuries. So it is important to wear helmet for a safe journey.
(ii) inertia in the reason that people in cars need to wear seat belts. A moving car has inertia, and so do the riders inside it. When the driver applies the brakes, an unbalanced force in applied to the car. Normally the bottom of the seat applies an unbalanced force friction which slows the riders down as the car slows. If the driver stops the car suddenly, however this force is not exerted over enough time to stop the motion of the riders. Instead, the riders continue moving forward with most of their original speed because of their inertia.
